I know I made some disparaging remarks about True Blood earlier this season, but I actually enjoyed last night's episode. I am so used to True Blood dragging out the main plot lines that i was surprised to see Warlow exposed this soon. It also feels like the Human/Vampire conflict storyline is moving fast with Pam and Nora being captured. Does this mean Tara and Eric are going to be teaming up?

Also, was Ben being Warlow that biggest shock that wasn't? I know it was mentioned in a thread earlier this season and my wife called it last night before we sat down to watch it. And then once he bared his fangs to help Jason that all but assured it.

One small think I'm not liking is the "back talking" of Pam and Tara (especially Tara) of Eric when it comes to these big decisions. I guess that's supposed to be part of their personality but I'd rather they fall in line better.

Huh? Eric is being a dick. They should be resisting his stupid plans. And Eric released Pam, so she is not required to do as he says (and certainly Tara is not required to follow Eric's orders).

To me, it's obviously not true...Warlow is a vampire, but Ben does faerie stuff & Sookie can read his mind. Ergo, not a vampire. So unless they think we haven't been paying attention, I don't see how they can think we'd be fooled into thinking it's Ben.

(Besides, we already know Ben is Glory.)

And for my NEXT amazing trick...

I'm liking this season. It seems a lot more structured and focused than TB has been the last couple of years.

As I've said in other posts, I've enjoyed TB from the very beginning and actually thought it was getting better over the years vs. others posting that they liked it less than before.

But so far this season is almost becoming my favorite! Obviously we all distrusted Ben but I was very surprised that he turned out to be a vampire. But how could he walk in daylight? Well he's a faerie turned vampire and has BOTH powers!! Wow, what a great concept! Plus all the human vs. vampire conflict with all the new anti-vampire weapons. Again a great concept!

My problem is that they have already shown that vamps can move at super speed and rip the throats out of humans. In any of those circumstances where the humans have the guns trained on vamps, the vamps could have them all dead before they pull the trigger.

Agreed. That has always been the biggest plausibility problem with True Blood. They made the vampires too powerful when they gave them super speed. Sometimes you can rationalize it by saying that the vampires kind of switch between two modes of operation, normal and fast, and it takes them a little time to speed up starting from the normal speed mode (which would make it possible to, for example, kill vampires by sneaking up on them and shooting them from a distance with a crossbow). But even such a limitation cannot explain why the vampires often fail to go to fast mode when a threat appears in front of them. If the vampires are going into battle, they would obviously start out in fast mode and just slaughter all the slow humans.

Let that be a lesson to writers for future shows. If you give your characters super speed, you need to add a lot of limitations to the power as well or it will ruin the plausibility.

Is the governor's daughter storyline over? If so, seems like a waste of time. Was she really so stupid to not know why she was being turned?

The real question is, was Eric really so stupid not to know what would happen? He's well aware of how puppy vampires leave messes all over the house when not properly supervised. And (as he said) he does not make new vampires lightly. So why did he send a puppy vampire unsupervised into such a delicate house? Did he know that she would lose it? What could he possibly gain from that? Or was he stupid enough not to realize?

That whole bit baffled me. I hope there's more to it, because I would really like an explanation that makes sense.

So, Warlow has an English accent, but is putting on a Southern accent as Ben? Did I hear that right?

I'm still lost on the explanation Warlow gave to King What's His Name. I didnt understand it. Speaking of him, where did Warlow send him?

Something about he slaughtered the King's village but spared him and was sparing him again when he threw him into the other dimension which we dont know what is. But theyve made several references like "You dont want to go there."

Something tells me by the end of this season, one of the main characters is going to end up there and that will set up next season.

And the other thing Warlow mentioned is constantly fighting his bad side. Apparently Warlow is a tortured soul, inherently bad but trying oh so hard to be good (and often failing). Like pretty much all of Sookie's paramours.

What I am still wondering is why Warlow is so interested in Sookie. Or, at least, so interested in owning some female faerie that he made a contract for it hundreds of years ago.

If he really cared about her vampire existence, at least he could have done her the service of popping her cherry before turning her. But, as you say, Eric was apparently being stupid about the whole thing.

Yeah, I don't get it either, especially now that we know he doesn't need farie blood like the rest of the vampires.

Warlow had the chance to do whatever it was he wanted with Sookie the day she took him home to fix him up, but he didn't take advantage of it. ??? Also, wonder why he didn't just heal like a regular vamp. Maybe the fae blood keeps him from healing?

Sookie has fae blood, though, and she heals just fine when vampire blood is applied.
